The players who are leaving Liverpool when they hear Cristiano Ronaldo is arriving

Manchester United's attacking star, Cristiano Ronaldo, is fully focused on what will be his last World Cup with the Portugal national team, momentarily leaving aside his near future which seems far away from Old Trafford after his controversial statements, finding in Liverpool that comfort and support that could seduce him to sign for the other red institution of the Premier League.

Although the Portuguese legend seems to have no problem with a change of scenery and venture into a new challenge at the Reds, it seems that within Anfield there is a certain annoyance that could soon conclude in a massive departure of players, clearing the way for this attacker who seeks at all costs to prove his validity even as an elite footballer at 37 years of age.

Even before Cristiano Ronaldo was being touted as a possible new addition to Liverpool's squad for the winter transfer window, the Merseyside outfit had already been seriously considering the sale of Naby Keita and Alexander Oxlade-Chamberlain. Although both players would not hinder the work of the Portuguese, their early departure could mean a financial income with which to support the transaction.

The discomfort of the arrival of "CR7" could be noticeable in the attacking sector, as with the slow recovery of Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota, Ronaldo could come into action during these two months and steal either his compatriot or the Colombian the possibility of returning to the field as a starter, taking over that position behind the centre forward that today belongs to Darwin Nunez.

Given the situation at Liverpool, the stalled negotiations over Firmino's renewal could work against him if the board decides to bring in Ronaldo in a few weeks' time. It could also be the case that the two injured strikers could be released for a season, with the aim of both recovering their level and returning to full fitness for the 2022-2023 edition, leaving the job to a Ronaldo who would arrive with a thirst for revenge.
